Market Wrap International:

Global equities gained last week as cooling U.S. inflation and strong technology earnings lifted confidence that the Federal Reserve could begin easing policy in the coming months. Investor sentiment improved further as Treasury yields stabilized and risk appetite returned across sectors, though weaker consumer confidence kept caution in play. In Europe, equities tracked Wall Street higher, supported by resilient PMI data and solid corporate results, but gains were constrained by persistent cost pressures and uncertainty over future ECB rate moves. Asian markets also advanced, aided by signs of additional policy support in China, a softer dollar, and improving regional trade data, though foreign outflows and currency weakness in some markets tempered the momentum.
